  4. OHIO MOTTO AND NICKNAME During the early 1950s, the Ohio legislature sponsored a contest for selecting a state motto. "With God All Things Are Possible" became Ohio's state motto on October 1, 1959. James Mastronardo, a twelve-year-old boy recommended this quotation from the Bible. In 1997, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a suit against Ohio and its state motto, claiming that this phrase from the Bible violated the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees religious freedom and a separation of church and state. Various federal courts sided with Ohio, allowing the state to retain the motto. Judges ruled that Ohio's motto does not endorse a specific God and, thus, was not a violation of the First Amendment. Ohio is one of five states with the word "God" in their mottos. • The nickname for Ohio is The Buckeye State. Partly because many buckeye trees once covered Ohio's hills and plains. The name buckeye stems from native Americans - Indians called the nut "hetuck" (meaning buck eye, as the markings on the nut resemble the eye of a deer).

  5. OHIO STATE SONG • I sailed away;Wandered afar;Crossed the mighty restless sea;Looked for where I ought to be.Cities so grand, mountains above,Led to this land I love. • Chorus • Beautiful Ohio, where the golden grainDwarf the lovely flowers in the summer rain.Cities rising high, silhouette the sky.Freedom is supreme in this majestic land;Mighty factories seem to hum in tune, so grand.Beautiful Ohio, thy wonders are in view,Land where my dreams all come true!
